In Acrobat Pro 8.0, I create a PDF from a .txt file. I can't see any way to 1) prevent the resulting PDF from having the .txt file's path and name from being included in what appear to be headers and footers but are not or 2) Remove these pseudo-headers and -footers. Document\Header & Footer\Remove does not touch them. Only way I've found to remove them is manually, with the Touchup Text Tool.
I've spent quite a bit of time looking everywhere I could in Help, and found nothing for either task. Looked at all the commands, nothing (apart from the Touchup Text Tool). Conversion settings don't seem to include preventing them. Nor do job definition files seem to.

Thanks for any help

In the program you are trying to create the PDF from, remove the offending code in the header or footer, see the "Page Setup" option for that program, Word, Notepad, Internet Explorer, etc.

Tried that in Notepad; it did not work. In Notepad in Page Setup, in the Header text box, I removed &f, leaving the box blank: The file path\name still showed up. I tried typing a space in the Header text box, and that didn't work either. Same result.

What program are you using to print the text file from or convert to the PDF format?

In that program, change the page setup to remove the header or footer as necessry and click "OK". Now try printing the file to Adobe PDF.
